      500 years is a long time! If its possible to cure it, I’m sure it will have been cured by then, hopefully much sooner!!

      I agree with Andrew on this one- I think in 500 years time we will have either a cure, or an appropriate treatment for cancer. You have to remember that we have only had antibiotics for less than 100 years, and we have only known about the structure of DNA for 60 years. Think how far we’ve come in that time!!!
